Replies: 21 Code Scanner not working Views: 5,063 Posted By macfan71 Re: Code Scanner not working A bad vacuum line was my original thought, thanks to these forums, but I couldn't find a leak anywhere. My Ranger is at a local mechanic right now. I will post the results when I have them.

I must not have gotten it on all the way the first time, but I finally got it on with no leaking. It runs better for sure, but it still idles rough a times.
